IIRC you can emulate TOTK on Steam Deck?
Is there a good guide out there for getting TOTK emulation set up on the Steam Deck?
No idea, don't you just download it and run it through an emulator? For emulation I recommend Emudeck.
Finally had some time to do this and it is somewhat "easy" .. but it depends. For me finding the TOTK rom was the hardest, only because I was to lazy to take it from my switch. I have bought a physical copy, it's the booting to the tools that is just nerve rekking for me.
The Egg Ns Sim.... site is your friend BUT I did already have a fully working Emudeck install with my own Switch private keys and other things. I have a first gen one, but even so I had to 3d print a thing to short circuit some pins and patiently trying to get it into the special boot modus. I followed some guides on the net, don't remember exactly which one.. only that it was extremely frustrating getting the thing booting correctly. Thinking now I think it was the a guide in the docs of Yuzu I followed.
In the end: it's worth it. TOTK runs very smooth for me, even if I want to keep it at 1.0.0 (easy dupe glitch!!) for now with only the 60fps static mod (search gbatemp.net 5.0 post). That said I'm back at the sky tutorial level. it has some issues with fused weapons but overall I get the feeling the game is faster and runs better on the deck. Especially the loading times.
If only Nintendo came to reality and released ports for other machines. I actually would have bought it in a heartbeat. Even twice.
Yeah I know, but I like the motion controls.
And frankly the exclusives is the only thing I play on my Switch anymore. Itβs just easier. Especially given I do not have much time anymore to tinker with things like when I was 20y ago. π
But.. it is on my todo - someday - list for sure!
For what itβs worth Iβve been playing through on the steam deck and enabling motion controls was as simple as adding a community layout that had it bound to the trigger and itβs been perfect
Finally had some time to do this and you're totally right: in the end it was fairly easy to do. even with motion controls.
You can pair joycons to the steam deck with bluetooth and use motion controls
I don't know about Switch emulation, but the Steam Deck motion controls work well for other emulated games. I'm using it in Ultra Moon on Citra at the moment. You just need https://github.com/kmicki/SteamDeckGyroDSU (which emudeck can install for you). There is an odd bug where you need to turn on "Gyro Emulated Mouse" (or joystick) in the controls for the game and then turn it off again to make it work, but it's perfect after that.
SteamDeckGyroDSU works really well for motion controls with both Yuzu and Ryujinx.
